Has anyone stopped using co2 in their tank?
i have a small 10g that I’ve been using co2 for about a year, somewhere around 25-30ppm.
My plants are nothing exotic; buce, anubias, rotala, some random mosses.
I’ll be in and out this summer, so I decided to shut off my regulator and half my fertilizer amounts. It’s been a week and no influx of algae or other negative effects yet.
I’m thinking I’ll stay co2 free, as none of my plants need it, and my shrimp are probably better off
